I USED TO BE NORMAL: A BOYBAND FANGIRL STORY

I USED TO BE NORMAL: A BOYBAND FANGIRL STORY, 2018
Australia | DCP, Color, 96’ | English
Director: Jessica Leski

Focusing on four diverse women to address the admiration for “boy bands” from different periods, this documentary is the first feature length film by Jessica Leski, who is a fan of One Direction. This heart-warming documentary uses a candid and witty language to focus on the rehabilitative quality of these four bands: The Beatles, Take That, Back Street Boys and One Direction, and the way they have transformed the lives of these women aged between 16 and 64. Screaming at the top of their lungs in concerts, establishing fan clubs and meticulously collecting newspaper clippings, posters and photographs, these women show viewers their careless and infinite love for these bands.
